Toothless had just surprised Silvernose by deflecting his attacks, something which no one had ever done before. However, he quickly regained his composure, remembering that he still had the advantage.

"You're all talk," he said. "If you think you can take me down and let's see what you've got."

"Three-Sword Style: Leopard Spinning…"

Silvernose couldn't believe his eyes as Toothless launched himself into a spin as if he was flying. 'Is he flying at me?'

"…Shot!" Toothless yelled.

Silvernose quickly used his Paper Art to dodge the attack, but somehow Toothless was still able to graze him on his side.

'Impossible!' he said, shocked. 'I thought for sure that he missed me!' He then hit the ground hard and quickly looked back at Toothless. 'What was that? Did he somehow predict which way that I would dodge?'

Toothless turned to face him. "Oh, come on. Don't look so surprised. The way you fight, I find it hard to believe that this is the first time you've been touched by a blade."

"Well, it seems you have a little something to back up your boast," Silvernose admitted. "I won't underestimate you again, but I'm afraid that one-hit is the best you're going to do. I have four swords, Six Powers and the immeasurable strength of a giraffe on my side. That's an equation for victory I ever heard one. So don't blink; this will be over in a flash. Tempest Kick: Shuriken!"

He quickly swung his leg, unleashing his slashing attack, which took the form of shuriken. Toothless quickly began swinging his sword slashing through the attack.

"Giraffe Blast!" Silvernose yelled, launching his neck.

Toothless was too busy deflecting the shuriken, so he was unable to dodge when Silvernose slammed his head into his stomach.

'Damnit!' Toothless cursed as he was sent flying across the room.

"My neck is like a whip," he said and then began swinging his neck around like a whip. "Whiplash!"

He then slammed his neck down on top of Toothless, pounding him into the floor, and then struck again. Toothless rolled to safety to avoid his third attack.

"Even faster! Fierce Smash!" Silvernose yelled, slamming his head repeatedly at Toothless with incredible speed. "How do you like this? Still think you can defeat may?" He then finally came to a stop; this was only arrested. "And now for my Four-Sword Style, prepare yourself. Fury Slash!"

He then swung his sword at Toothless, who quickly jumped to his feet and dumped his swords into the floor. This absorbed the initial attack, but Toothless still felt the impact from the force of the attack.

"Here I come," Silvernose smiled.

He then began swinging his blades and legs with incredible speed, and Toothless was barely able to keep up with him.

'Dammit, I'm barely keeping up,' said Toothless as he was forced backwards.

"Hey, what's wrong? All you're doing is blocking. Give it up; you don't have what it takes to beat me!" Some of his attacks managed to graze Toothless, and he moved in to finish the job. "You pirates were sorely mistaken if you've bought you could defy the World Government and survive. In the name of justice, a mistake that severe can only be punished by death! The same goes for Heather Owson!"

Hearing Heather's name gave Toothless his second wind, and suddenly a dark aura began covering his body.

"You bastard," Toothless growled.

Silvernose stopped as if he saw a shadowy figure surrounding him. 'What the hell was that? He looked like Demon. Like one of our war gods from one of our old tails, but that can't be possible. Was I seeing things?'

"Your mouth just crossed the line, now you're going to pay you arrogant freak," said Toothless.

"Oh, did I offend you? Well, if you're tired of hearing me talk, I'll just end this now with the same move that crippled this tower."

He then began moving backwards to give himself more room for his final attack. He then stood on one hand and began spinning his body around as quickly as he could.

"This will be over in an instant when I slice you into," Silvernose promised. "It's the end of the line! There's nowhere to run! This time I will make my attack twice as powerful as before!"

He continued to spin faster and faster, but Toothless just stood there.

"Yeah, you're right," he said. "It is the end of the line, for you at least." Then that same aura as before began to cover his body. "Demon Aura! Nine-Sword Style: Dark Shroud!"

Silvernose couldn't believe his eyes as Toothless began sprouting two extra heads on each side of his original one, and he grew two extra pairs of arms.

'It's that Demon I saw before?' he stared scarcely able to believe his eyes. 'Is he making a solution through his strength of will alone?' However, if they were illusions, they wouldn't present him any danger, or he was trying to intimidate him. "Nice try, but you're too late!"

"Is it too late for me? Or for you?" Toothless asked.

"Unless you somehow manage to dodge this Tempest Kick, then nothing has changed! You're all talk!"

Toothless then crossed his blades as it looked as if he was prepared to take the attack head-on.

"Sky Slicer!" Silvernose yelled, unleashing his attack.

Toothless stared there as the attack continued to come his way. He remembered the termination that the other members of the crew went pretty get this far, and he wasn't going to be the one that failed them. He then swung his blade and astonishingly cut through the attack like it was nothing.

"That's impossible!" Silvernose gasped. "He slashed it into mist!"

Toothless then launched himself at him while he was still stunned. "You did well; I commend you. Suffering is welcomed on the path to bloodshed."

Silvernose just stood there completely stunned, and Toothless struck him with all nine of his swords.

"Dark Shroud Silver Mist!" he said, appearing behind him.

Silvernose then fell to his knees, and the illusions are surrounded Toothless evaporated. Silvernose then began transforming back to his drake form and collapsed to the ground.

Toothless then sheathed three of his blades, it had been a hard fight, and they had completely wrecked the garden, but he won the fight.

"I've got a message for you," said Toothless, panting. "From your other boss over at Galley Law. He said that your all fired."

Silvernose was still conscious and was looking up at the sky, and he couldn't help but remember the happy times that he shared with Galley Law. It may have been a cover, but some part of them actually enjoyed it, and Palmer discovering the truth was somewhat heartbreaking.

"Palmer…" he said solemnly. "I see, fired, huh? Too bad, it will be tough. Assassination skills don't really come in handy in other lines of work."

"You could always get a job at the zoo," Toothless joked.

Silvernose laughed. "Nice… that's a good one."

He then reached into his pocket and pulled out the key before falling unconscious.

Toothless and bent down and picked it up. "Sorry."

His eyes then turned towards the Gates of Justice, which were now wide enough for ships to enter; they didn't have much time. He then heard footsteps and turned to find both Ragnar and Snotlout had arrived. Clearly, the two of them had defeated their opponents.

"Did you get the key?" Ragnar asked.

"Yeah, just now," he said, holding it out so they could see. "Got it right here."

"That's good news," said Snotlout.

"Still, I think the two of you overdid it," said Ragnar noting the mess and the room. "The tower isn't looking so good; you think it's safe?"

"Save enough," said Toothless. "Who cares anyway? That's not important right now. This was the last one; we now have all the keys."

"They didn't exactly make it easy for us," said Ragnar.

"We better get them to Heather and quick," said Toothless.

"Before that, there is something that I have to do first," said Ragnar.

Toothless and Snotlout looked at him confused, wondering what was more important than getting the keys to Heather.

At the same time, the Eret Family and Galley Law where he would free the giants. Once the Giants were freed, they immediately picked up David and Goliath and quickly ran down towards the main island front gate with everyone hitching a ride on them.

"Run!" Teeny ordered. "Full speed! Don't stop; keep moving matter what! We need to save ourselves and trust that Bro and the Dragon Riders will be safe. We're all going to make it! So run for your lives; even if we break our legs, the Eret family ain't stopping!"

The Eret Family then cheered.

It would have been a motivational speech if it wasn't for the fact that the giants were actually the ones doing all the running.

"Go, you can do it!"

"We're counting on you giants!"

"Listen, guys, if you're just going to ride, then try and keep it down," said Kadir.

"I agree, enough already," said Gabor.

"Onward!" Teeny yelled. "Go in the name of Jotunheim!"

"Shut up!" they both yelled.

Coco and Chimney were now running down the secret passageway to catch up with Eret and the twins. Coco was rather exhausted; she had never run this past in her life.

"Granny, hurry!" Chimney yelled, pushing her. "Faster, faster!"

"Chimney, I'm an old woman!" Coco reminded her. "Give me a break here. Seriously, I'm going to have to refuel to keep this up."

In response, she immediately pulled out a bottle of booze and began dragging it down, nearly tripping over.

"Granny, you're going to fall!" Chimney yelled. "Pull up! Pull up!"

"Uh, geez, you're so demanding today."

"Granny!"

"I know! I know! Hurry, hurry!"

At the Bridge of Hesitation, the bridge had now finally connected to the two platforms on the opposite side of the gates. It was now just a simple stroll towards the other side of the gates, and Spandam was feeling rather triumphant.

"Finally, the bridges connected," he laughed joyously. "I can't stop laughing. Hey, gate guards, is everything ready or what?"

"Yes, sir," said the guard of the transponder snail." Everything is in order; we're awaiting your arrival on the third column."

"That's not what I meant," Spandam snapped. "The crew should come out to salute me! Their hero chief Spandam has arrived!"

"Oh, yes, sir! We will be right out!"

"Idiots," Spandam grumbled. "They can't do anything right. Look, Heather Owson, there it is." He was then forced to look at the gate just up ahead. "That little gate is the real entrance, just a few more steps, and we're there. Once you pass through it, you will be crossing the border between heaven and hell. There's no turning back, and the moment I drag you past it, my name will be engraved in history."

Heather just looked at the gate. It stood proud and strong, and she couldn't see past it because of the mist. It was very foreboding, but she knew on the other side of that gate was the ship that would take her to Navy headquarters.

Heather then attempted to run, but Spandam grabbed her hair and pulled her back. "hey, hey, there, witch. Where do you think you're going? I know you may not believe me, but I do feel a bit sorry for you. Too bad I've got no say in the matter; there's no reason for you to live." He then leaned in towards her ear. "Your death awaits."

Heather then pulled all of her might and managed to break free from Spandam.

"You bitch!" Spandam yelled furiously and began chasing after her.

Heather was very certain that Hiccup and the other Dragon Riders were coming for her, but she had to buy them more time.

'I don't want to die, I don't want to die,' she said repeatedly. 'I want to live!'"

Spandam then reached out and grabbed her, slamming her head against the stone sides of the bridge.

"Stop delaying the inevitable!" he snapped. "You're wasting time; get up!" He tried to pull her head up, but it was as if it was locked in place. "Dammit all, she won't budge. What's going on here?"

He looked down, then to his astonishment, he saw that Heather was biting down on the side of the bridge with her teeth.

"You're kidding me," he stared bewildered. "She's holding onto the bridge with her teeth? She just doesn't know when to give up, does she? How annoying. Why the hell are you so desperate to live, don't be so damn greedy. Listen to me, you're a criminal, understand. The only way you can make the world a better place is by dying! Why must you be such an annoyance all the way to the bitter end?"

He kept on pulling, trying to pry her loose, but she removed a bunch.

'I never thought I would be so afraid of death,' she said. 'I want to live. Please, save me… Hiccup.'

Hiccup would want nothing more than to save Heather, but Lael was making them rather impossible. He had just swung his fist at him, but he used the Shave technique to get out the way.

"Finger Pistol!" he yelled.

Hiccup quickly dodged the attack. "I'm just as fast as you."

"Yellow Lotus!" Lael yelled, hitting him with multiple Finger Pistol is, making it impossible to dodge.

Eret watched as Hiccup was flown back to the other side of the room.

"Dragon!" Eret yelled.

"We need to move," said Ruffnut.

"Heather is probably halfway through the Gates of Justice by now," said Tuffnut.

"You're right," said Eret, and they quickly made a bolt for the door. "Our only concern at the moment is going through those doors and fast."

Lael then suddenly appeared in front of the doors blocking their path, but Eret wasn't gonna let that stop him.

"It's no use; there's no way you ever get past," said Lael.

"We'll just have to see about that one way?" said Eret removing the flesh glove over his right hand. "Strong Hammer!"

The twins immediately drew their swords.

"Twin Tornado!" they yelled.

"Iron Body!" said Lael.

The twins' blade merely bounced off his skin, and when Eret punched him in the stomach, he didn't budge an inch; in fact, he didn't seem to have noticed the attack.

"No way," said Eret stunned. "He didn't even flinch. That same punch sent that blabbermouth flying."

"Ah, I see," said Lael. "So you beat Olaf along the way. Sorry to break it to you, but my Power level is five times his." As if to prove his point, he immediately struck Eret in the chest with the same movie used on Hiccup, almost bringing him to his knees. "Still, I'm impressed that you defeated Olaf. Bringing down any agent of CP9 requires superhuman strength."

'Whoa,' said Eret coughing out some blood. 'This guy is is in a completely different league.'

"Now you die, all three of you," said Lael looking at Eret and the twins.

"Neo Dragon Fist!"

Then suddenly, Hiccup appeared out of nowhere and punched Lael right beneath the chin with astonishing speed. Not only did it take them by surprise, but it also sent him flying into a nearby crate with incredible force.

Eret and the twins were completely speechless, and when they looked back at Hiccup, they were even more stunned.

"Broadwing Mode!" said Hiccup.

"He looks different," said Ruffnut.

"Man, today has been full of surprises," said Tuffnut.

Lael began picking himself up and was now starting to look serious.

"I can't keep this transformation up along, but I will stop him," Hiccup promised them. "The three of you go on ahead and hurry! Heather is waiting."

"Right, you got it," said Eret. "I don't know what you're doing, but keep it up and finish him."

Eret and the twins were about to run to the door when they stopped because Lael had just transformed into his hybrid form.

"I said that you'll never get past me, didn't I?" he said.

"Another guy with Devil Fruit powers?" Eret stared.

"Guess we should have mentioned that before," said Tuffnut.

"It kinda slipped our minds," said Ruffnut.

"First things first," said Lael turning his gaze to Eret. "It's time to die, Eret."

He then used the Shave technique to dash towards him, but Hiccup moved exactly the same speed and blocked his path.

"Neo Dragon Whip!" he yelled, swinging his tail.

Hiccup moved so fast that Lael could not dodge, so the tail struck him in the face and slammed into the ground.

"Have you forgotten something?" said Lael getting back up. "Back in the Galley Law building, this was the form I was in when I defeated you with a single blow."

"That was then, and this is now," said Hiccup confidently.

Lael narrowed his eyes. "Shave!" He vanished and reappeared in front of Hiccup. "Finger Pistol!"

He then thrust his finger towards Hiccup, but he disappeared before it made contact, much to his surprise. Hiccup reappeared directly above him and opened his mouth.

"Plasma…"

"Iron Body!" Lael yelled, hardening his body.

"…Nova!"

Hiccup then launched a plasma blast which shot with amazing speed and struck Lael in the chest, creating a massive explosion. Lael was sent flying straight into the wall with an incredible amount of force.

Eret and the twins took this opportunity to make their way to the door.

"Guys, you've got to save her," Hiccup called out.

"Just leave it to us," said Eret as he opened the doors.

"Heather is as good as rescued!" said Tuffnut.

"You just take the guy down!" Ruffnut yelled.

All three of them then passed through the door and then began climbing the spiral staircase that would lead them to Heather.

Spandam was unaware of this was still trying to pry Heather from the bridge.

"Stupid woman!" he yelled. "Don't you get it? This is useless! How many times do I have to tell you? There is no hope for you, so give it up now!"

Heather refused to give up hope. 'I'm not going anywhere. They're coming; they are all coming to rescue me.'
